wa Nichols tsilor store at IA

Roadway that the whole available

summoned to fight it. The flames
spread to the low frame buildings,
Nos. 143 and l49, on either side of the
burning building. IL took the fremen
fully an hour and half to get the
upper hand OF the flames, but the
buildings were o. tirely destroyed, and
those abutting upon them in Christie
and Broome street filed with water
and were badly damaged. The total
loss was not less than 100000, and
several people had narrow escapes for
their lives.

Tho Now Jersey Contest.

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 25.-The Demo-
cratic hopes of last night were lowered
again to-day by Speaker Baird's refusal
to accept oyertures and go into their eau
Gus. The caucus met at 9 O'Clock and
Immediately adjourned until II. At the
latter hour the doors were again closed,
but Mr.. Baird had left the capitol and
gone to his hotel. He says he Will not
meet in caucus with the Dem
ocrats or the senatorial question,
but will vote for Democratic
senator. This gives the Democrats no
satisfaction, as mis- vote will only help the
Republican if not cast for the Demo
cratic caucus nominee. The Democrats,
IS yet, are undecided whether to go into
joint meeting and ballot for senator to-
morrow. Independent of the Repub
cans, without Baird they lack majority,
unless either of the labor men should
Join them, and these latter give no assur-
ance as to their stand in the senatorial
fight.

Ratchet
LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 22.-Mr. and
Mrs. William Sperinfogle, living on Fet-
ter avenue, were taking their two-year old
infant to the st. Louis cemetery for in
terment this morning when they were
startled with peculiar noises issuing from
the coffin. At first the parents were
dumbfounded, but the father, placing his
ear against the cotlin-lid, heard the baby
cries of what he thought to be mis- dead
child. He tried to force open the lid,
but in vsin. Placing the GOTTA on his
shoulders, he hurried to 4 neigh5oring
grocery, and with Ratchet burst the lid.
The child, with Outstretcheu arms and
with the faintest cries, held it's tiny hands
out to him. The baby was taken back
home, and though very i'll, is not beyond
the hope of recovery.
The strangest feature of the case is that
the child was supposed to have died early
yesterday morning. a physician pro-
nounced it dead Since the moment of
its supposed demise the body had been
closely watched by the grief
stricken parents and no sign of
life was evident. 1t got icy cold, and
was as stiff as corpse. There were nc
Signs OF breathing, and the eyes We're SET
IS if in death. Several doctors, who
have been attracted to the case by its Pc
culisrity, seem to think that the child was
in trance. The funeral procession was
near the Cemetery, and if the cries of the
infant had not been 50 timely heard it
would Bave IN few minutes been buried.
The attending friends gathered around
the now joyous parents, and the funeral
cortege was turned back.
